Log of Changes
  • 2008 Added Hobo loggers to CT and F10 plots. Three replicate depth profiles (surface, 10, 20 cm).
  • 2012-07-13 Campbell Scientific 21X logger with AM25T multiplexer (Longitude -149.609083 Latitude 68.622629) set up in MAT06 Block 1 CT (control) and F10 plots measuring soil temperatures using type T thermocouples. Three replicate depth profiles (surface, 10, 20 cm) were installed at the 5, 10, and 15 meter south side plot stakes about 1-2 meters inside the plots. A small pit was cut into the soil and the thermocouples were inserted into the side wall of the pit.
  • 2018-06-11 CR1000 logger station with air/RH CS500 sensors in and out of the greenhouse. Using repurposed SC616 soil moisture and 107 temperature probes. Lots of extra cables.
  • 2019-08-17 Changed from 21x logger to a CR10x-PB
  • 2021-06-08 Ian Klupar changed the CR10x-PB logger since it stopped working during the winter.
  • 2023-06-10 Savannah and Jim rewired the soil logger station, with cables extending to the GH CR1000 station. This station now only has the AMT25T multiplexer wired to the GH CR1000. The program was rewritten to include the soil plot TC. Tables were renamed – Metadata = air temperature and RH; GHPlotsoil = inside and outside soil temperatures and moisture at 10 cm; Soil_plots = soil temperature in the CT and F10.

Block 3

Air temperature/RH, soil temperatures, and soil moisture are measured in the greenhouse, control, and F10 treatment plots. The station was first set up in 2008, in just control and F10 plots, measuring soil temperatures using three replicate depth profiles (surface, 10, 20 cm) at the 5, 10, and 15 meter stakes about 1-2 meters inside the plots. In 2018, the station was moved closer to the new greenhouse plot. Air temperature/RH, soil temperature, and moisture were added in the greenhouse plot and the control portion of the greenhouse plot.

Log Changes.
  • Initial setup: 2008-06-11. A Campbell Scientific 21X logger, AM16/32 multiplexer, and type T thermocouples were set up in block 3. Depth profiles were set up at the 5, 10, and 15 meter stakes about 1-2 meters inside the Control (CT) and 10 grams Nitrogen plus 5 grams Phosphorus per meter squared (F10) plots. Three depths, surface, 10, and 20 cm, were installed into the side of a small dug pit.
    • CT_1 SUR, CT_1 10CM, CT_1 20CM, CT_2 Sur, CT_2 10CM, CT_2 20CM, CT_3 Sur, CT_3 10CM, CT_3 20CM, F10_1 Sur, F10_1 10CM, F10_1 20CM, F10_2 Sur, F10_2 10CM, F10_3 20CM, F10_3 Sur, F10_3 10CM, F10_3 20CM
  • 2011-06-09, upward and downward LiCor PAR sensors were added.
  • 2012-06-10 Added up and down CS300 Pyranometers for Albedo.
  • 2018-08-10 Move the station closer to the GH so Temperature/RH, thermistors, and soil moisture sensors can reach. Changed logger to a CR1000 and multiplexer to an AM25T. Added greenhouse HMP60 temperature and relative humidity, CS616 soil moisture, and 107 soil temperature sensors. Three 107 were placed in CT and GH plots at ~ 20 cm. Only 1 CT and 1 GH CS616 soil moisture sensors were installed at ~ 20 cm. Need to add more.
    • Measurements added:
    • AirTControl_Avg, RHCT, Air_GH_Avg, RH_GH,
    • T107_C_CT1_Avg, T107_C_CT2_Avg, T107_C_CT3_Avg, T107_C_GH1_Avg, T107_C_GH2_Avg, T107_C_GH3_Avg, VW_CT_Avg, PA_uS_CT_Avg, VW_GH_Avg, PA_uS_GH_Avg
    • Measurements for all sensors are 30-minute averages of 1-minute reads.
  • 2019-08-16 Changed radio from FreeWave FG radio to a Campbell Sci. RF401 with Pak Bus OS version 4.
  • 2019-08-20 Changed output so there are two tables. One for the Met data (60 sec reads and 30 min averages) and a second one for the soil data (180 sec reads and 180 min averages). This should help the battery drain in the winter.
